MESSAGE - Old friendships are very important. Teamwork can make anything possible.

(Note: In an extended short preceding the film we see a girl slide into a ball-pit, a toy dinosaur and a toy spaceman clatter down a slide and a small toy jumps onto the head of a toy spaceman, knocking him unconscious (he later wakes up unharmed). We see also "misfit" toys, including a toy that accidentally punches another toy and has a black eye, a karate-chopping toy that chops through plastic "wood," a female mermaid toy wearing a mid-drift exposing top, and a transparent plastic body with veins and nervous system painted on it; a toy that punches is seen releasing its arm and it accidentally punches another toy, knocking it over, a toy tackles another toy and we see the toy tied to a chair and then released unharmed and a tiny toy slaps the behind of another toy and it blushes.)

A CAVEAT: We've gone through several editorial changes since we started covering films in 1992 and some of our early standards were not as stringent as they are now. We therefore need to revisit many older reviews, especially those written prior to 1998 or so; please keep this in mind if you're consulting a review from that period. While we plan to revisit and correct older reviews our resources are limited and it is a slow, time-consuming process.
